Hiawatha Collegiate High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with only 19.02% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Math and 32.82% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in Reading, compared to state averages of 34.96% and 51.26%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 83.3% to 87.4%, slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 2.0% to 4.5%. The school serves a predominantly disadvantaged student population, with 88.03% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, Hiawatha Collegiate High School performs significantly worse than the Avalon School, a public charter high school ranked 65th out of 450 Minnesota high schools with much higher academic proficiency rates. However, Hiawatha Collegiate High School has performed relatively well in serving its homeless student population, ranking 1st out of 9 Minnesota high schools in the 2023-2024 school year and 3rd out of 4 in the 2021-2022 school year. The school's inconsistent student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.5 to 23.2 students per teacher, suggests it may be struggling to maintain a consistent and optimal learning environment for its students.
